New Hampshire Knowledge Test

To pass this Roadwise simulation, answer at least 32 of 40 questions correctly. Answers and explanations appear after you finish. Unanswered questions count as incorrect.

This practice format uses one overall passing threshold, without a separately scored sign section.

The practice simulation uses a 40-minute countdown. The test clock continues while you are away from the session.

The handbook states the test has 40 multiple-choice questions with a 40-minute time limit, and that the test automatically ends if more than 8 questions are answered incorrectly. It does not print an explicit minimum correct-answer count or passing percentage, so the minimum correct-answer count is 32 (80%) is derived from the 'ends after >8 wrong' rule (i.e. must have at most 8 wrong to avoid automatic failure). No separate signs-only section is scored, so the practice test uses one combined score.

Try a few practice questions
